Keeping with the history theme I feel the need to make everyone aware that this day in History, 173 years ago, SandPaper was invented. Of course by invented I mean an American put a patent on it effectively stealing an idea that had been around for centuries.
Besides Duct Tape is there any more useful tool out there than sandpaper. For starters it can be used to make surfaces both smooth (for things such as painting) and rough (for certain adhesives). How this is even possible I havent got a clue. More importantly SandPaper has amazing potential as a nickname for those friends of yours who arent so smooth with the ladies, such as Mike “20 grit” Beatty.
If you would like to learn more about SandPaper so you can celebrate it properly and impress both of your friends wikipedia provides everything you need here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandpaper.
Now that you know how awesome SandPaper is lets make this its greatest Birthday Party in the last 167 years (let’s face it we will never top the 6th birthday with the clowns and ponys. People sure knew how to party in 1840). Heres to 20 Grit!
